closedUpgrade to latest BuddyPress Docs
0%
Description
We haven't upgraded BuddyPress Docs in well over six months, because of some major interface changes that took place with version 1.2 of the plugin. The major changes were:
- Docs no longer necessarily tied to group
- Single Docs no longer viewed in the context of a group (groups still have Doc directories)
- To show the now-optional group affiliation, there is now a "permissions snapshot" at the top of each Doc
- Users now have Docs tabs on their profiles (Started by me, Edited by me)
- An optional top-level nav item, Docs, is introduced
- As of about a week ago, Docs now allow file attachments
We should get back up to date, but before doing so, I would like Chris and probably Matt to do a review of the current state of Docs, focusing on the items above.
FWIW, all these changes have been heavily tested by thousands of users in the wild, so I feel comfortable with all of them. The only change we may want to hold off on on the Commons is attachments - if we enable them, it's yet another place where people will be able to attach files, which may create fragmentation. We may want to wait until I've written a migration script from BuddyPress Group Documents, the plugin we currently use for Files.
I'm going to upgrade cdev to the latest Docs, and post a few links for you to have a look at. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
